CHM 1103 Lab #2 - Student Report

This chemistry lab report provides data on the length, width, and mass of a piece of paper. It then calculates the area of the paper in both square inches and square centimeters, as well as the mass per unit area in both g/in^2 and g/cm^2. Finally, it determines the conversion factor between square inches and square centimeters using the area calculations.

SURNAME, First Name(s) USI

CHM 1103 Lab #2 – Measurement and Graphing


Please select paper size base on the first letter of your surname.
A–L Letter Size, M – Z Legal Size
Data
A. Length of Paper =14.000 in

Width of Paper = 8.563 in

B. Length of Paper = 35.4 cm

Width of Paper = 21.7 cm

C. Mass of Paper = 5.72 g

D. 0.156 in2= 1 cm2

Calculations

A – Area determination in square inches

Area (in2) = Length (in) × Width (in)

Area (in2) = 14.000 in × 8. 563 in

Area (in2) = 119.9 in2

B – Area determination in square centimeters

Area (cm2) = Length (cm) × Width (cm)

Area (cm2) = 35.4 cm × 21.7 cm

Area (cm2) = 768 cm2


C – Determination of mass/area

C1 – Determination of Mass/square inch

mass 5.72
g/in2 = g/in2= 0.0477 g/in2
area 119.9

C2 – Determination of Mass/square centimeter

mass 5.72
g/cm2 = g/cm2= 0.00745 g/cm2
area 768

D – Conversion factor between square inches and square centimeters

768 cm2= 119.9 in2

119.9 2
1 cm2= in /cm2 × 1 cm2 =0.156 in2
768

1 cm2= 0.156 in2

Results

A. Area in square inches -119.9 in2

B. Area in square centimeters- 768 cm2

C1. Mass/area in g/in2- 0.0477 g/in2

C2. Mass/area in g/cm2- 0.00745 g/cm2

D. Conversion factor: 1 cm2 = 0.156 in2


Skills: Use the following data to plot a graph of the temperature in Fahrenheit against
temperature in Celsius. This graph should be a straight line. Calculate the slope of the line.
Be sure to include a title and label the axes properly.

Gradient of line = 0.56
Temperture (Fahrenheit)

Points used to calculate the gradient of the line are: (-120, -84) and (150, 66)

Gradient of line= (y2 – y1) ÷ (x2 – x1)

Gradient of line= (66- (-84)) ÷ (150- (-120))

Gradient of line= (150) ÷ (270)

Gradient of line=0.56
